According to a survey recently released by Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, ‘2017 eClinical Landscape Study’, the length of time it takes companies to build and release a clinical study database (68 days on average) is having a negative effect on trial completion.

“The study results indicate that companies face a growing number of challenges in building and managing clinical study databases,” said Ken Getz, research associate professor and director at the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development. “The results also show that the release of the clinical study database after sites have begun enrolment is associated with longer downstream cycle times at the investigative site and at study close out.”
